I recently got a job and make about net $880 a month part time. I go to school full time and intend to in the spring semester. My mother will claim me as a dependent and she makes an below average wage. SO would i qualify for any aid?

FAFSA is just the name of the application form. It tells the schools you're applying to if and how much financial assistance you need. Some scholarships are based on your need, and they look at the FAFSA. You have to fill one out even if you want to get a loan from a bank usually. There are really low cost student loans that you dont have to pay back until you've graduated -- dont go with the ones advertised on TV tho. Google scholarships and apply for everything you can. Talk to the schools financial aid department and ask their help. They usually can help you find the money to go to school.

Financial aid from FAFSA depends on a number of things. But the main thing is that EVERYONE should file, just to see. A couple points; The less you make, the more you'll get. The sooner you apply the more you'll get. They go by a first come, first serve basis. So file ASAP. At the end they will give you an EFC amount. This amount means estimated family contribution. This is going to the amount in which THEY EXPECT YOU to pay for YOUR college. It seems very complicated, but just fill it out anyway. You won't regret it.

Anyone can qualify for fin aid in the form of student loans. Pell grant eligibility will depend a great deal on your parents income. Here is a good publication that has the exact loan and grant amounts.

Anybody can get it . To qualify for it depends on the total household income and the number of people in your household. Your school financial aid department can provide you the information but you must apply before deadline to get approved. Also inquire about grants where you might qualify for.

You have to fill out the form to find out for sure, but you look like a good candidate. Actually getting financial aid, although it is a frustrating process is not that bad if you do what you are told, when you are told, and always read the fine print. Look at me I'm $50,000 in debt... you could be too! Seriously though you can do it, just try.

go o the school and talk with the financial aid office. You should still be able to just need to show you where not working at that time. Good luck with getting it all turned around.

yes you will you just need to put some pressure on those people. i make probably 2 times as much as you do in one paycheck and i still get financial aid. it all depends on how much your parents make

Probably. The easiest way to find out is to go ahead and fill out the information on the web site.

Yes, believe it or not. You would only qualify for unsubsidized loans though.
